Fire resistance

Thanks to a careful choice of materials and thicknesses, rotational moulding meets the technical and regulatory requirements of demanding sectors such as the automotive, construction, aeronautical and rail industries.

Rotational moulding meets commercial vehicle standards

ECE-R34 standards and Directive 70/221/EEC impose constraints on fire resistance. These standards require, for example, resistance to high temperatures (1 hour at 95°C) or fire resistance for 2 minutes.

Rotational moulding meets aerospace standards

Rotational moulding can be used on a variety of parts in this sector. Plastic is often used to make aircraft parts lighter, but must not affect passenger safety in the event of fire. Rotational moulders can meet the requirements of FAR and OSU standards by using high-tech materials such as Polycarbonate FST (Fire Safety Toxicology) or Polyamide 12.

Rotational moulding meets railway standards

Rotational moulding can also meet the requirements of fire resistance in parts for the railway sector. Safety is guaranteed by compliance with EN 45545. Rotational moulders use materials such as Polycarbonate FST (Fire Safety Toxicology) or Polyetherimide to meet the requirements of the standard.
